Homemade Taser Sword created, just because you can

There are some of us who never grow out of the desire to shoot fire or lightning from our bodies after reading a comic book or playing a video game. Fortunately, if you’ve got some electrical tape and a bit of know how, you can choose between growing up and owning a Taser Sword.

It may be hard to imagine a scenario in which you are surrounded by swords and tasers and you think to yourself “I sure wish I could combine these things into something even better,” but that’s exactly what happened.

In an exercise that can only be described as an attempt to recreate the High Frequency Blade from Metal Gear Solid 2, a weapon has been made that combines a pair of blades and a taser. The blades are separated by four nylon bolts to create the same conductive gap seen in actual tasers.

The hilt of these two blades have been connected to the taser itself, which is now bound to the bottom of this monstrosity with electrical tape. In the video, the creator demonstrates charging the Taser Sword, which he does by sticking the exposed plug attached to the bottom of the hilt right into the outlet. The angle is set so that the blades prop the whole thing up as it sits in the outlet.

Once you’ve got yourself a fully charged Taser Sword, you can just turn it on and use the button up near the top of the hilt to activate the taser. As long as you have your finger on that button, you can swing your sword around and watch as bright blue sparks jump across parts of the blade edge. It may not be any more lethal than a regular sword, but the crackling sound of the taser combined with the lightning jumping between the blades would most likely be quite a deterrent should you need one.

If you take a look at the YouTube channel that this video cam from, you can see this Taser Sword in action against the man who created it. Spoiler alert, just being touched by the Taser Sword is a pretty painful experience.
